The fourth foreigner has also been signed in striker N.D. Opara from relegated ONGC and he is set to arrive in Goa in the coming days.

Under a new coach and a complete new set of foreigners Churchill Brothers SC go into the new season. Odafe Onyeka Okolie has been their main striker for years, now others will have to fill in the massive shoes he leaves behind.

Though Henri Antchouet will be the main target man upfront the management has looked to have quality foreigners in all departments of the team, who also bring experience to the side.
